but one wants to sew up anyway?
1. one of the current flippy knee-length skirts
in a loud, or at least *big* print. Have never
worn anything like it at any age. Simplicity
4019, for those interested.
2. From someone's else's stash, or the remains
thereof, a 1940s jumper (sleeveless dress worn
over some other garment, for ye .ukians),
"pieced" look (skirt on bias, angled plaid.
Don't know anyone I could give these to either.

Oh, that's rather nice, but I see what you mean... I'd have to have a
bit of 'don't care' fabric to experiment with! If I then never wore it,
someone at the charity store would win! :)

Nah, I don't think I'd even make that! This, however, has tempted me on
several occasions:

According to Sunday's New York Times "Style" section, jumpers are this
season's hot fashion. Everything from simple knee length worn with a
crisp cotton blouse, to fashions a la St. Trinions (sixth form, if you
please, suspenders and nylons optional).

I was luckier than you. My school uniform was a pinafore dress or tunic
with single layer top and slightly a-line skirt, having three pleats
back and front. I remember to this day, "Economy Design Number 161
Style A" The headmistress had changed from the classic three-pleat
tunic the year before I got there, after complaints from Mums that their
"gels" were wearing three layers of wool worsted across the chest all
day, then changing into thin blouses after school, and thus catching too
many colds.
